TWO HUNDRED-AND-FOUR DAYS UNTIL ELECTION DAY 2018

Beware the military-industrial
complex, President Trump

Bakersfield, CA, 04-16-2018
Monday: It is good to be back as there is always so much to discuss. Currently, here in Bakersfield, California,
we are enjoying the last remaining days of COOL weather, knowing that soon—very
soon, in fact—blazing sweltering summer is around the corner and we will be
crackling and spitting like a suckling pig with an apple in its mouth on the
spit. From the end of April or early May
(if we are lucky) onward, temperatures will soar into the low one-hundreds, and
will remain that way until early October.
It is sad to live in an area in which, the low 90’s appears like a gift
from Heaven.

On January 17, 1961, when
President Dwight D. Eisenhower gave his farewell address to the nation, he made
a statement that has languished in the back hallways of our collective national
mind (folks who learned true history before the modern era) regarding what he
called, “the military-industrial complex.”

The ‘military-industrial
complex’ is something that all major nations, especially global superpowers or
regional players know and understand well.
It is the symbiotic relationship
between the military and the industrial complex that supports the military
establishment both here and in our overseas deployments.

I seriously doubt that
anyone can dispute that the relationship is an unhealthy one, especially when
taken to an extreme, but I believe evidence of it exists if we look at the
amazing amounts of wealth that our elected leaders accumulate during their time
in office. In scrutinizing their riches, we can see the connection between
armaments technology and development and their pocketbooks.

President Trump said just
little over a week ago that U.S. troops would be leaving Syria and coming back
home and then, out of nowhere, sources claim that Bashar al-Assad, strongman
dictator of Syria and known killer of his own people in the fight to maintain
power, used poison gas on his opponents in a suburb of Damascus.

To me, it makes no sense
whatsoever, why not just wait for American ground and air forces to vacate the
region and THEN gas his enemies? If we
were upset but outside the country, we would have to make the effort to return
or to use long-range military force to punish him for his misdeeds, something
we have been unable to prove as at the time of this writing (although Mr. Trump
hit him with cruise missiles LAST year).

The ‘good old boys (and
gals)’ network immediately went into action as various Republican and
Democratic senators and congressional representatives demanded an ‘answer’ to the outrageous attack. Without any shred of proof other than that
they ‘knew President Assad (and possibly Vladimir Putin) were behind the unproven
attack, they wanted President Trump to launch retaliatory strikes against the
culprits immediately.

Did we learn nothing from
the Iraq War? I mean, even if the WMDs
crossed the border from neighboring Iraq in the days leading up to the U.S.
ground invasion back in 2003 and fell into the hands of Assad, are we to go to
war every time some thug somewhere in
the world does something awful to his own or nearby citizens in a neighboring
locale?

This is a recipe for madness and I, for one, hope
that President Donald J. Trump does not
leap at the bait and do something that is going to put American troops back in
the crosshairs of an angry foe.

We do not need to
intervene in this mess, this is something the United Nations must involve itself in as this is
precisely the type of situation for which, World War II war-weary governments
created the international body, back in the late 1940s, to resolve.

I fear the enemies of
this president, (as well as those seeking to enrich themselves in unseen ways
through massive military contracts), are the driving force behind pushing the President into yet another Middle
Eastern debacle.

Surely the disaster in
Iraq taught us something and at one time, I believed Donald Trump had learned
that lesson. Now, he seems to be dancing
to the tune of his detractors and to his military advisors such as John Bolton
and Mike Pompeo.

I pray to God as a mother
and grandmother that no U.S. troops
go to action on the ground in Syria, enough is enough. Iraq was a fiasco, Libya a dire mess, and now
Syria? Please, for God’s sake, can we not refrain from entering another fight
when there is so much we still need to do here at home? Please, President Trump, do not allow those
who hold no good will for you to
embroil you in yet another Iraq, as it is going to be your downfall.

Whew, we are off to a
good start. Friends, I will see you back
here tomorrow so please, make sure you rejoin me tomorrow at 12:01 A.M. Pacific
Time- be here or be nowhere.

This is me back in 1977 when I was working at the Hilton Inn
in Bakersfield, CA, on Rosedale Highway.
In the 1980’s, it was the Red Lion Inn but back then, I was the night
sous chef and ran the cook's line at the age of 24. I’ve had the privilege of working in Texas,
Arizona, and elsewhere in California but have always returned home to
Bakersfield. Currently, I am at one of
the five country clubs.

WE CONTINUE PROMOTING
ALBUMS BY THE GREAT BRITISH HARD ROCK BAND, DEEP PURPLE

MONDAY, APRIL 16, 2018

In 1984,
the Mk. II lineup of Deep
Purple—the most successful—reformed and released their most successful
album to date: “Perfect Strangers.” The album featured IanGillian
(vocals),
Roger
Glover
(bass),
Ian
Paice
(drums),
Richie
Blackmore (guitars),
and Jon
Lord
(keyboards)
and it came out on October 29, 1984. All the members had been playing in other
groups; Paice
had been playing with smoking guitarist, Gary
Moore;
Ian
Gillian
from a short stint with Black Sabbath,
Blackmore
and Glover
from Rainbow
and Jon
Lord
from Whitesnake
(with David
Coverdale). It took them nine years to bury the hatchet
and get back to work and what work it was, a fantastic album although some fans
panned it. Nevertheless, we urge you to
use the link here, so you can go directly to Amazon.com
where you can pick it up in the format, the condition, and the price that works
best for you.

In 1984, the Mk. II lineup of Deep Purple—the most successful—reformed and released their most successful album to date: “Perfect Strangers.” The album featured IanGillian (vocals), Roger Glover (bass), Ian Paice (drums), Richie Blackmore (guitars), and Jon Lord (keyboards) and it came out on October 29, 1984. All the members had been playing in other groups; Paice had been playing with smoking guitarist, Gary Moore; Ian Gillian from a short stint with Black Sabbath, Blackmore and Glover from Rainbow and Jon Lord from Whitesnake (with David Coverdale). It took them nine years to bury the hatchet and get back to work and what work it was, a fantastic album although some fans panned it. Nevertheless, we urge you to use the link here, so you can go directly to Amazon.com where you can pick it up in the format, the condition, and the price that works best for you.

Big Brother and the Holding Company reunited in 1987 and began playing gigs again and found time to record this album, “Do What You Love,” an album they released in 1999. Peter Albin (bass) joined Dave Getz (drums,piano), Sam Andrews (guitars, vocals), Tom Finch (guitars) as well as JamesGurley (who performed off and on, guitars) and Lisa Battle (vocals). The band could still smoke and on this album as well as onstage at their live gigs, they wowed fans the way they did back in the OLD days. We urge everyone to seek this album out by going to Amazon.com via the link we provide you here; you will be glad you did.

In December 1967, the Lovin’ Spoonful released their next effort, “Everything Playing.” There was a change in the lineup at this point as Zal Yanovsky left the band due to some immigration and drug problems. The new lineup featured John Sebastian (vocals, guitars, autoharp, harmonicas, and organ), Steve Boone (bass and vocals), Joe Butler (drums, percussion, and vocals), and Jerry Yester (guitars and vocals). Three songs are notable here: “Six O’Clock,” “She is Still a Mystery,” and “Younger Generation,” a song that Sebastian would perform at the Woodstock Music Festival the following summer. We urge you to take our link and go to Amazon.com where you can pick this CD up in the format, the condition, and the price that is right for you—you will be glad you did.
